How I Was Scammed By Paga Agent This Morning by BISHOP2062: 10:04am On Jul 20, 2023
Admin help me move this thread to the right section. I need help on how to track this guy. It all started two days back. I saw paga POS promo advert on Facebook with a WhatsApp number. We chatted and the paga agent asked me to download paga app and open account. After opening the the account, he said i should deposit N50000 for onboarding and the activation of my pos in my paga account. I deposited the money and login to my account only to see N75. I sent him a message on WhatsApp but he did not respond. The next thing he deleted all our chat on WhatsApp. However, before he did that i had already saved all our chat including the audio messages to my mail. Please Nigerians help me. I suffered to gather that money so i can get a pos machine. Admin please move this to front page. I need help.

In these times? What proofs do you have that he's a genuine PAGA agent? He should have made extra sure before sending your hard-earned funds to his account.

Not to his account my paga account. He claim that if i make the deposit they will now be sure that am capable of running POS business. That i can withdraw the money even after onboarding my POS.

I have always been careful. I thought Paga is real. I downloaded their app from play store and opened the account on the app. The guy was only chatting with me as customer service rep.

The best and sure plug is to contact paga cc on their website.
Ask them questions and show them what transpired. They should be able to tell you if he used all those codes you sent him to access your account and moved the money elsewhere.
From their,they will know the account he moved the money to.

Good luck

He isn't a paga agent, this is a cheap scam. The scammer had access to your login details and he moved the money.

I wander how people easily trust online agent and others with their hard earned money. Someone I don't know from Adam. Simple step, meet any POS agent around your vicinity and ask him/her how they got their POS machine. Sorry for your loss anyway 💔
Re: How I Was Scammed By Paga Agent This Morning by Poisonousman: 4:38pm On Jul 20, 2023
From what I'm seeing.. seems you sent him the OTP paga sent you... Maybe that's what he used to wipe the money

Thanks! But my concern now is to prevent other Nigerians from becoming victim. Also the role Paga as a company is playing in the whole thing. I sent them a mail with all the audio conversation i had with the guy and no reply. I called the phone number on their customer care from their website no response. From my web search about Paga, i discovered someone opened similar thread on nairaland about Paga 2017. I want them stopped.

This is why it will be hard for Nigeria as country to move forward like developed countries of the world.

This may not be about paga. The Otp you were sending to him, can you screenshot the text where paga sent them to you? You should know once he have access to those codes, he can access your money. Getting a POS is not this hard now, you can even walk into any reputable bank and get it
The country is hard, let's be vigilant.

You sent your authentication code to him and with that he was able to withdraw your deposit by high jacking your account

The codes were sent to me by paga. He said he needed them so as to link my paga account to the POS device before delivery to me. He also said i should change my password before i deposit money, which I did.
Re: How I Was Scammed By Paga Agent This Morning by Error401: 10:26pm On Jul 20, 2023
What are the codes meant for?

Re: How I Was Scammed By Paga Agent This Morning by Sucre6: 10:52pm On Jul 20, 2023
Your evidence is mutilated, u see why I can't do without Gb Whatsapp, if Nah GB whatsaap now all those chat he deleted woud stil be there and very intact grin.

You weren't smart bro, if u needed P.O.S from paga, why didnt you visit Paga's physical terminal to apply for one.?

This is actually the 3rd people I have seen making this same complain about Facebook paga scammer, una dull shaa
Re: How I Was Scammed By Paga Agent This Morning by Vintage100(m): 11:03pm On Jul 20, 2023
Sorry for the loss,but ur money is gone, because paga won't stress themselves to help you since the money is small to them. This is a blunder on ur part. You should have gone to paga office
